Description
A New York Times Notable Book of 2022! The New York Times Bestseller and Good Morning America Book Club Pick! "I LOVED this book! ...Funny, breathtaking, hopeful, and dreamy."--Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis A disillusioned millennial ghostwriter who, quite literally, has some ghosts of her own, has to find her way back home in this sparkling adult debut from national bestselling author Ashley Poston. Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem--after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It's as good as dead. When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won't give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father. For ten years, she's run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she can't bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it. Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor's front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and he's just as confused about why he's there as she is. Romance is most certainly dead . . . but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she's ever known about love stories.

I ALMOST didn’t finish this one. Oh man, it took a lot for me to keep going-like A LOT, A LOT…..until I finally got about 208ish pages in. It FINALLY started picking up & even though I predicted basically entire ending, it still got me pretty choked up! I did love the ending a lot, & I think I’d even say it was worth it to read it✨ The first 2/3 of the book, I’d honestly rate about 1-2/5. The last 1/3 of the book redeemed itself, I’d rate that about a 4/5. So I’m gunna go with a 3.5/5⭐️ on this one. I completely loved the idea of this cute little romance, it was very unique! & I loved the fact that Florence & her Dad shared the ability of being able to communicate with the dead. The book obviously has to do with grief & loss. I thought that it was handled so well in this book, in such a unique light. I think after reading, more people would have a much more different aspect on death & mourning. The book gave a very different emotional side to it, & could surprisingly be pretty eye-opening & heartwarming. Also, I loved Benji’s character.
Good!

I loved this book! The main character is dealing with lots of big changes in her life - all at once. I knew it was a romance, but it surprised me with a unique twist. I picked this book up for myself not long after it was published. This copy is for my sister.

This book was packaged great and arrived in perfect condition. It was an easy read that I enjoyed- a ghostly romance storyline. Really just a unique book and I loved that. Certain phrases and words were repetitive and there was a very modern feel to the terminology that threw me slightly off. Absolutely worth the read though.
Great story

I wasn't sure I wanted to read this one, but it was a selection for one of my book clubs. It has been a long time since I felt compelled to finish a book in a day. The sorry just kept sucking me in every time I thought I could put it down. The primary twist in the book I could see coming fairly early in the book but it really didn't detract from the story and there were some less predictable twists. I really did laugh out loud and the ending is satisfying. Why wouldn't you read a book primarily set in a town where the mayor is a dog?
